A Brilliant Idea Takes Shape
A group of lifelong friends in Salt Lake City, Utah frequently gathered at their favorite coffee shop to share stories and experiences. They realized the value of their gatherings and the impact they had on each other’s lives.
One day, Tony Caputo, one of the members at the age of 69, noticed something exciting across the street: a bustling farmer’s market with hundreds of people. It sparked an idea in his mind. He proposed to the group that they set up a booth at the market to offer their guidance. The rest of the friends loved the idea, and the following week, they set up their booth with a big banner above it reading “Old Coots Giving Bad Advice” and “It’s probably bad advice, but it’s free.”
A Growing Demand for Wisdom
The group of friends was open to discussing almost any topic, except for politics and religion. They eagerly awaited someone to approach them with a request for advice. It didn’t take long before a few customers trickled in and had positive experiences. Word began to spread about the “Old Coots,” and soon a small but growing line formed in front of their booth.
